Starting from Burlats, it was impossible to find, so we had to do it the other way round, Saut de la Truite - Burlats.

Neither too easy nor too difficult, with a superb waterfall at the end, considering the rain we'd had over the previous days. On the way back, we took a slight detour along a path that brought us back to the bridge. A village not to be missed!

The route is almost entirely shaded, which is ideal when it is very hot.
The round trip takes just under 2 hours.

It is recommended to take the path behind the cemetery, although it does not start behind the cemetery but before the municipal workshops.
In the end, we didn't do it. We went 200 metres from the trout jump and climbed up, but there was little water due to the drought. This route seems perfect in sunny weather.

Discover the Lézert stream, which flows through a mass of large granite boulders. The path winds its way up through the boulder field in a damp, cool forest, even in summer. To avoid a return journey, head back via a small, traffic-free road that allows you to make a short detour to see the precariously balanced Roc du Baptistou.
